Works for you in the Gulf

  • BYD's cheapest EV, period — a genuinely affordable entry point
  • Blade LFP tolerates Gulf heat and daily charge cycles
  • Standard heat pump — better efficiency with the AC running

Go in knowing

  • Just 95 hp — shy performance on highways
  • UAE-only for now — no official KSA or Qatar channel
What sets it apart

Standard heat pump on every trim — direct battery cooling/heating boosting efficiency by up to 15%

World's first mass-produced 8-in-1 electric powertrain — higher efficiency in a smaller package

Ultra-safe Blade Battery — passed the industry's toughest penetration and heat tests
